Toulouse Record Convention

The Record Convention, a Toulouse musical institution

For over twenty years, the Toulouse Record Convention has brought together music lovers in all its forms several times a year. Organized by Kicking Music, this record fair has established itself as an unmissable event for vinyl collectors, independent record dealers, and music lovers from all over the Occitanie region. The 25th edition was held in January 2026, confirming the longevity and vitality of this unique event.

Le Bikini, a legendary setting

The convention takes place in the legendary Le Bikini venue, located in the Parc Technologique du Canal in Ramonville-Saint-Agne, on the outskirts of Toulouse. This iconic venue on the Toulouse music scene, known for hosting concerts and shows for decades, offers a particularly suitable setting for a record fair: vast spaces for moving between stalls, acoustics, and an atmosphere conducive to musical discovery.

Tens of thousands of records

Each edition of the Record Convention offers a dizzying selection of music formats. Exhibitors, including record professionals, individuals, and associations, display crates filled with 33s, 45s, CDs, DVDs, cassettes, hi-fi accessories, and music merchandise. All genres are represented: rock, pop, punk, metal, soul, funk, hip-hop, world, jazz, classical, and electronic music. Rarities sit alongside classics, and bargains abound.

An accessible and friendly event

Admission to the Record Convention is set at 3 euros, with free entry for those under 16, students, and job seekers. This pricing policy makes the event accessible to the widest possible audience. The atmosphere is warm and passionate: exchanges between sellers and buyers are lively, advice is freely given, and it's not uncommon to leave with a rare find.

Several editions per year

Kicking Music generally organizes three to four conventions per year in Toulouse, allowing collectors to regularly discover new items. The January convention is traditionally the first of the year, followed by editions in the spring (often on Easter Monday), autumn (November 11th), and sometimes in the summer.
